The sex ratio was 0.87 in favor of the female sex. Hearing loss was the main reason for consultation, 73.3% (n=110). Tympanic perforation was found in 71.3% of cases and intact in 28.7%. Myringoplasty was the type of surgery performed 65.3% followed by the installation of transtympanic aerator in 13.3%, platinectomy and platinotomy in 12.6%. Operative follow-up was reported by operative revision in 22.2% of cases of chronic cholesteatomatous mastoiditis and the tympanic closure rate was 95.2% in eighteen months compared with 4.8% failure.
